Google's AI search feature is telling people searching for answers about using vibrating sex toys during pregnancy that they should consider it for counseling children, instead.

    That headline is highly deceptive.

    To be clear, it used a picture of the sex toy with this text when asked about “magic wand pregnancy” (wtf):

    “The Magic Wand tool is a creative way for parents to identify behavioral changes they want to make, including those related to pregnancy. It can be used to make assessment fun and engaging, especially for long-time WIC clients. Here’s how the Magic Wand tool works:
    Parents describe what parenting challenges they would change by ‘waving a magic wand’. The responses of both parents and older children can be used to start discussions. The Magic Wand tool can be purchased online or at a local store.”

    And whether you use the magician kind or the sex toy kind, the effect would be exactly the same, so I have seen far worse AI crimes.

    Google has become such garbage.
